In 2002, Callaway released its fifth installment of Big Bertha Irons, a series that started in the early 1990s. The standard set was a 3 through 9 iron with a 50-degree wedge; however, custom sets could be fitted with 1, 2 and 10 irons along with a sand and loft wedge. Its head specifications cater to golfers of a novice to intermediate skill set and a variety of shafts are offered for golfers of all ages.
Club Head
-
The 2002 Big Bertha Iron heads are cast molded steel with a deep cavity back to reduce spin and increase forgiveness. They come stock with a slight offset to again assist in straightening mis-hits and the oversized face maximizes the sweet spot to the same effect. However, the forgiving design of the clubs sacrifice force and workability, making them ideal for beginner and novice golfers who have not yet mastered the art of working a fade or draw.
Club Shaft
-
2002 Big Bertha Irons come stock with a choice between two shafts. They are offered with strong flex RCH 85i or 75i graphite with low torque and high kick point. These add a little extra force at the point of impact and are ideal for youths and elder golfers with a weaker swing. The other standard shafts are Constant Weight Uniflex Steel (BBI), which are ideal for providing more accuracy to golfers with a stronger swing.
Counterfeit Clubs
-
Counterfeit, or cloned, golf clubs have become a crafty and very lucrative business. Oftentimes they can be easily spotted, from subtle differences in design or insignia to blatant misspelling of the company name. However, some have become so perfect as to be printed with legitimate information and serial numbers. Nothing short of contacting Callaway for club verification can prove these clubs to be fakes. Callaway insists potential buyers pursue purchasing through authorized retailers only and to steer clear of Internet auction websites.
